Ara, have you tried the Hint fruit flavored waters? Plain water can be dull, but the Hint flavors are fun to drink. I drink bottles of the stuff constantly. Only the still water though, not the fizzy ones, since I'm not a seltzer fan.

Yesterday was dry with temps well into the 80s. Today it's mostly cloudy and we're due for storms tonight. Hopefully I won't run into too many problems with this when visiting my mom. Too many days/evenings of dodging the storm cells and watching the lightening bolts flash all over the sky in all directions while driving this summer. She had a real sweet tooth yesterday and went to town with the Hershey's chocolates as her after dinner dessert. I bought her more chocolates at the store last night. Other than that I'm just dealing with the housework.

I'm also still trying to figure out where the heck the tube peanut feeder went for the backyard bird feeding setup. The squirrels keep knocking it off the double shepard's hook and it goes flying into the shrubbery somewhere. Sometimes I never do find the peanut feeders again. They must get dragged off by hungry racoons. Fortunately the squirrels don't do this with the seed feeder, but they keep biting off the plastic seed feeding hole openings though. I hate having to frequently replace the feeders of late.
